Think of what will happen when the hurricane does come and pushes oil and tar balls into the atmosphere. I hope no one gets hurt when this stuff starts falling. Why people could get knocked out and windows could get broken. Tar ball storms and waves of tar balls. I hope this does not effect our water supply. Price of bottled water will go sky high.

There certainly are other ways.
We just aren’t using them.

They actually have been talking about impoding this well.
Nuking it.

ummmmm

This could just knock us off our axis…..

Man HAS become idiots!

I think all of BP’s assets should be siezed, they took the risk and lost,
but we will pay forever.

How can anyone wish this hardship on any other person.

Some ppl in some of the states involved have no been out of work
since shortly after the spill.

This is to say nothing, of the damage to wildlife on top of the sea,
under the sea, and on the land for miles surrounding this spill.

This has not even come close to being fixed in 2 months and they
have no idea what to do.

All this kings horses and all the kings men…….

Where in trouble here ppl.

The economy is going to take another huge hit and many more
ppl are going to suffer, and thats the result if they ever fix the thing
and they don’t blow us up in the process.

Marty, last time I checked, I said that there were OTHER PLACES TO DRILL THAN OUR OCEANS! Safer for the people who have to work the rigs, safer for the wildlife, safer for peoples LIVELIHOODS! But everythings going to get worse from here because the majority of America seems to feel its not a big deal.

huh,
I agree that we need to get away from importing oil and oil in general. But the sad truth is the alternative fuels and technology you speak of are years away from being both practical and affordable on a wide scale. Even if we went with natural gas which the United States has plenty of, it would take several years and billions of dollars to convert to. Maybe if anything good comes out of this it will be a stronger push to develop alternative fuels. As for your wish about the price skyrocketing, don’t worry once the oil companies realize they have reached Hubbert’s peak which some scientist say will happen in the next 5 to 15 years, and a few say won’t never happen, you will get your wish. Some economist estimate the price of gas to run between $10-$15 a gallon after that.

WPNOD,

You are not in FL are you? Don’t you live in North East Georgia? If not, you have a mental twin up there.

It is hearbreaking to watch something so beautiful becoming tainted. But the fact of the matter is this…Unless everyone who is moaning and groaning about drilling for oil in the gulf is going to walk everywhere, ride a bike, or use a horse/ buggy; it is a necessity. The powers that be have been talking about alternative energy sources for decades and we are still dependent on oil. Face it, almost everything that makes our lives convenient and comfortable is made with oil in some form. If some have such a problem with it I suggest they set the first examples and give up their luxuries. Any takers? Didn’t think so…think about that when you get in your cars to go to Walmart…hypocrites are trying to rule the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to long ago we were all complaining about the Gov. being too big, and getting
in private businesses, (health insurance) now we are calling on old Uncle Sam to bail us out. What can the Gov. do with a oil spill. Raise the deft. some more.
Drill Baby Drill.

@whitepunknotondope

I think my comment makes a lot of sense , local communities would grow, technology would push harder for alternative fuels , we would buy less fuel from overseas which supports terrorism

The usa needs to stop its dependence on foreign oil, and oil all together. When gas recently went to over $4.00 a gallon under GW Bush, it was a hardship, but also it spurred a push for technology and electric/hybrid cars.

You might not believe this, but once upon a time people had gardens and bought meats locally and didn’t travel great distances very often for work and food. We need to be self sufficient
